BodyCartography Project - Resisting Extinction

SITE Sweden

Talludden

Resisting Extinction offers practices for living and dying together on a damaged earth. Resisting Extinction invites us to not only look forward but to look around and notice what we are losing. This ecological crisis is an identity crisis. Everything is shifting. Recognizing grief as a legitimate response to this multi-species mass extinction is a vital step to expand our understanding of what it means to be alive in this swiftly transforming moment. We can’t rely on models that perpetuate this crisis. We need to practice embodied knowing to repair our relational field. We must hone our skills. to improvise, to play, to experiment, to be receptive, to be in the unknown and trust we have the resources in our bodies to negotiate, survive, and thrive. Resisting Extinction unfolds as a series of three experiences: •	weather walk is a one-on-one performance journey. We will transform our small talk about the weather. •	the missing is an invisible performance that flickers on the periphery of our consciousness where a critically endangered multi-species being haunts the landscape.•	dying and decomposing meditations - practicing for potential climate realitiesResisting Extinction is suggested for audiences over 12 years. The events are free of charge, but need to be booked in advance. Location: Talludden, 128 64, Sköndal Nearest bus stop: Stora Sköndal. Bus 143, 181 &amp; 188. Exact location to be confirmed by email.
